All those people who said they were concerned with inflation just got screwed. Trump just raised the price by 25% for everything you buy from Mexico and Canada including tomatoes, avocados, cucumbers, auto parts, medications, cars, beer and more! Enjoy MAGA! - ThreadSky

Threats from a bulky! Fear and intimidation will only go so far! The people making these DF decisions their lives won't change one but! This is wtf they voted for! So if the kickback is large enough, he'll back off! USA is now for sale to the highest bidder!

koolkankat.bsky.social•46 days ago

You left off Tequila Dean! I guess I will have to do with what I got for now.

christianleiner.bsky.social•47 days ago

If Europeans and Chinese would have the balls, we would put an export tax of 25% to all exports into US. To play fair with Mexico and Canada.

soddruntlestuntle.bsky.social•47 days ago

going to give the biggest fucking i-told-you-so to my maga family and acquaintances

rackella.bsky.social•47 days ago

I really hate that guy.

welshcobs58.bsky.social•47 days ago

And California grown fruit and vegetables will definitely increase in price when farmers can’t find anyone to harvest their crops.

1freeelf.bsky.social•47 days ago

Can’t wait for Canada to respond. Love their plan

rosemaryd52.bsky.social•47 days ago

I hope they follow through. We need other nations to stand up to his bullying.

forensicguy.bsky.social•47 days ago

They want egg prices to decrease!

kslatteryresist.bsky.social•47 days ago

Just bought a hybrid car with 48 mpg cuz I knew this shit was coming. Time to start growing our own veggies I guess.

oregonblondi.bsky.social•47 days ago

Grow your own veggies & buy locally from farmers, that includes meat, eggs etc. We have a winter's farmer's market & boy, it's nice.

kalamityk67.bsky.social•47 days ago

Some people will be good…I live in a suburban/urban/rural area, I’ll be good. Others, already stuck in food deserts won’t fare well at all.

lovolition.bsky.social•47 days ago

Foodal Apartheid

oregonblondi.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes, that's true, unfortunately.

welshcobs58.bsky.social•47 days ago

Unfortunately not everyone has that opportunity.

oregonblondi.bsky.social•46 days ago

I know.

j-o-y.bsky.social•47 days ago

They truly voted for the lawlessness and the cruelty. They expect a front row seat for that. A cruelty they were certain would not touch them. We will see.

rallenr.bsky.social•47 days ago

A $243B price hike on American consumers (2022 data), plus a shrinking economy and domestic job losses. And that’s just for starters.

sailormichael.bsky.social•47 days ago

Canada and Mexico should slap massive tariffs on Teslas.

readpiketty.bsky.social•47 days ago

They only eat mac and cheese from Dollar General.

ronniebc.bsky.social•47 days ago

Overnight the price of avocados jumped from $1.53/each to $2.06/each. Don't be angry with Mexico. Direct your anger toward 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, DC. We tried to warn you.

bigbear1963.bsky.social•47 days ago

Let his tariffs go. Eventually his minion will wake up, when they have to pay $15 for a bunch of carrots. 🥕

philipcollier.bsky.social•47 days ago

Consider why Trump hates Canada, Mexico, and our European allies: they are democracies. Trump is a fascist who believes racial competition for resources and living space is more powerful than democracy and rule of law.

He will burn it all down.

bradlovett.bsky.social•47 days ago

Just got our new phones today

rocketdog3.bsky.social•47 days ago

We hate that guy. 🇨🇦

welshcobs58.bsky.social•47 days ago

So do I.

philipvernon.bsky.social•47 days ago

So do we — 60% anyway.

heathencanadian2.bsky.social•47 days ago

And we, in Canada, will retaliate. Many of us travel south. Spend tons of money in the U.S. Say bye, bye to all those wonderful tourist dollars.

iowacaptive.bsky.social•47 days ago

I hope his maga followers suffer . It’s going to be great

callanettles.bsky.social•47 days ago

It will be closer to 50% for consumers. The 25% goes to wholesalers importing goods. They will have to make up that 25%, and most wholesale costs are doubled (at least) before they hit the market. We are royally screwed.

kurtwhittet.bsky.social•47 days ago

And they’ll retaliate - which will hurt businesses that sell their products in Canada and Mexico

hunjun.bsky.social•47 days ago

Irony is with mass deportations farmers will lose not only workers and shrink crop acres but also the ability to expand their crop acres via tariff protections. This is a lose/lose deal. Who wins?

kate-assisi.bsky.social•47 days ago

I don’t think they’ll do mass deportations. I think they will round them up, the able bodied will be farmed out as free labor. If we are lucky they’ll deport the rest. My fear is they won’t bother.

hunjun.bsky.social•46 days ago

Interesting take you have, round up undocumented and their 'sentence' through a work house/jail will be to work on farms, construction work, custodians, etc. for free. Wonder, wonder wonder if ICE/Trump is going after employers. Six-month work visas makes more sense.

kate-assisi.bsky.social•46 days ago

Not original. My Uncle Hank was 12 when the Nazis invaded his town. His father was shot because he worked for the town and his mother was forced to be a nurse while he was sent to work on a farm. I figure history has a tendency to echo.

hunjun.bsky.social•46 days ago

Wonder if 'they'/gov't/czar Holman are also going to seize/freeze their assets claiming illegal gains since in US illegally. Also, a way to pay for enforcement, including rewards for tips and % to local law enforcement agencies. About 30% of WWII German military budget was from stolen Jew's assets.

kate-assisi.bsky.social•46 days ago

Sounds about right.

bobw2654.bsky.social•47 days ago

He is “considering” the 25%. Likely he will try to get personal bribes to call these new taxes on us off. Stay strong Mexico and Canada! This will hurt us all short term, but the Criminal Corrupt Conman must be stopped!

slavens6717.bsky.social•47 days ago

Shit!

kimberleelynn.bsky.social•47 days ago

The Super Bowl will be a lot more expensive with the prices of those avocados, MAGA...

badlandslib.bsky.social•47 days ago

I hope someone can still talk him out of this, but I already purchased all the electronics and clothes I will need while Biden was still in charge. I plan to only spend the bare minimum to survive until Trump backs down.

ayeeye-mindfuque.bsky.social•47 days ago

On top of fucking over the migrant community in the coming months, these tariffs are going to make a Wendy's salad a luxury item. God, I hope that bloody twat dies soon(est).

laughingaway.bsky.social•47 days ago

Guess they best have a run on toilet paper before Feb 1. Lots of brands sold in Northern US come from Canada which is why they have English and French on them as opposed to the English and Spanish you see on US products!

extndr46.bsky.social•47 days ago

And petrol products from Canada

hollsworld.bsky.social•47 days ago

We also export quite a bit of electricity to the States.

kate-assisi.bsky.social•47 days ago

kalamityk67.bsky.social•47 days ago

[incoming snark] F you Canada if you turn off your giant ass spigot to our rivers and ocean!

hollsworld.bsky.social•47 days ago

Ah yes, the giant spigot in British Columbia. I walk past it when I go hiking with my dogs. Will be turning it off tomorrow morning. 😉

extndr46.bsky.social•47 days ago

Save me a nice tall glass though thanks

extndr46.bsky.social•47 days ago

The big Faucet ! Christ what a moron rump is !

heathencanadian2.bsky.social•47 days ago

And THIS is what will cause the greatest pain. We supply electricity to several U.S. States.

extndr46.bsky.social•47 days ago

I live in NY so if its pain its pain his supporters will cry

extndr46.bsky.social•47 days ago

Cut us off plesse ! cripple us with Tariffs and energy please !!

nadinbrzezinski.bsky.social•47 days ago

So wait, that’s when the price of eggs will drop? Asking for a few million idiots.

averybols.bsky.social•47 days ago

Starting my garden soon. Gonna build my own cheap greenhouse for it, just in case. Might as well save where I can 'cause it's gonna get expensive.

piscespoet.bsky.social•47 days ago

We are all getting screwed.

sonny9636.bsky.social•47 days ago

The market will plummet tomorrow.

rosemaryd52.bsky.social•47 days ago

I'm afraid I've gotten to the point where I think things need to fall apart.

sonny9636.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes, I agree. Nothing can stop this now anyway.

jmcaustin.bsky.social•47 days ago

I did read that he said hes thinking about it but hasn’t acted on it yet? Although I’m sure he will bc he’s been saying it all along and he’s all about doing what he says he’s going to do when it comes to bad policy. Just not when it comes to making your eggs cheaper! 🤦🏼‍♂️

4kdorn.bsky.social•47 days ago

Mother fucker.

heptaglemious.bsky.social•47 days ago

Does that include the gas in the pipelines that MAGA thought was going the other way?
